RCB skipper Faf du Plessis turned back the time on Sunday vs Mumbai Indians as he took a screamer of a catch in the match while back-tracking from mid-off.
Mumbai's Hrithik Shokeen was looking to accelerate the innings as he tried to take on Harshal Patel and hit the first ball of the seventeenth over in the air. du Plessis, however, showed great athleticism as he caught Shokeen to leave Mumbai seven down for 123. Have a look at the video here:
Earlier, RCB won the toss and elected to bowl first. The decision was proven right by RCB bowlers who brought MI down to 29/3 at the end of powerplay. The situation became worse after fearsome Suryakumar Yadav departed shortly for 15 with the team at 48. Nehal Wadhera (21 off 13) then joined the forces with Tilak Verma and the duo added 50 runs for the fifth wicket.
Three quick wickets of Wadhera, Tim David and Hrithik Shokeen then put brakes on MI's recovery but Verma had different plans. The 20-year-old southpaw took the charge as Mumbai added 48 runs in the last 17 balls to reach 171/7 in 20 overs. Verma remained unbeaten on 84 off 46, hitting nine fours and four sixes.
